The Bombay High Court just made a big decision. They decided not to change the boundaries for local elections in Maharashtra, even though some people weren't happy about it. The court said everything was done correctly, so the elections can go on as planned.
Many folks, including Mahadeo Vithal Satav, argued that the new boundaries for voting areas were unfair. They said the changes were made to help certain political parties and would make it hard for voters in some villages.
The court, led by Judges Manish Pitale and Y.G. Khobragade, explained they can't just change election boundaries. They said their job isn't to decide where lines should be drawn unless something was done really wrong.
"The petitioners have not been able to demonstrate unfairness on the part of the authorities."
The court found that the State followed the rules set in a government order from June 2025. This order explained how to draw the boundaries using things like population numbers and natural features like rivers.
The judges also looked at past cases and guidelines from the Supreme Court. They said changing boundaries just because some people don't like them could delay elections, which isn't allowed.
"It is well settled by now that if the election is imminent or well under way, the Court should not intervene to stop the election process."
The court decided not to change anything, so the elections will go ahead with the new boundaries. This decision is important because it keeps the election process moving without delays.
The court's decision means the elections in Maharashtra can continue as planned. The judges made it clear that unless there's a big mistake, they're not going to step in and change things. The focus now is on having the elections as soon as possible to keep local government running smoothly.
